  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I get to go see my kids in Upstate, NY during the memorial day weekend!

I was able to get plane tickets relatively cheap and my ex-girlfriend's mom said I can stay at her place, and they are going to be my transportation. My ex-girlfriend let me know that they usually go to the lake that weekend, but I am welcome to come along with them.

It will be three months shy of six years since I last seen them! I am both excited and nervous at the same time... lol.

:clap: That's wonderful, Boidae......and quite a change in your ex's attitude (isn't it?). Praying that it will be a wonderful trip for all of you. Does this mean she's letting you speak to them on a regular basis (it seems like that would ease some of the nerves)?

It has always been an open door policy to see them, but I had to be able to get up there to see them. Being 1200 miles away, it isn't easy. She said from the start that I can see them whenever I wanted.

My son is still not speaking to me beyond a sentence here or there on Facebook on pictures and statuses he has posted on. My other kids were given their own cell phone last month because my one daughter made high honors, and my oldest daughter made the honor roll. So they were rewarded with a cell phone.

My daughter that made high honors has also been selected to audition for jeopardy in April.

*edit... yes, this is a second account that I have with CF.

I was just remembering how your ex was making it really difficult for you to keep in touch with them. I hope she encourages their relationship with you....and that their cell phones make that easier.

Congratulations on your daughter getting selected for an audition for Jeopardy. That's great.

So happy for you, Boidae :) I hope you'll use the next two months to pray for God's blessing, guidance, and wisdom during your trip. I'm sure that emotions will be running high on all sides, so go in with humility, transparency, and an open heart :)
